Turtle Brownie Mix — DUMP

Name: Turtle Brownie Mix
Brand: Rabbit Creek Gourmet

Munch or Dump rates Turtle Brownie Mix by Rabbit Creek Gourmet DUMP — score 17/90.

Small-batch Kansas charm wrapped around partially hydrogenated soybean oil — trans fat that even industrial bakeries retired years ago. It's three sweeteners deep before you've cracked an egg. 'Handmade' doesn't help when the toffee is a chemistry throwback.

Why this verdict

Partially hydrogenated soybean oil (in the English toffee) = trans fat — automatic DUMP, no exceptions
Three sweetener sources stacked: sugar, brown sugar, and glucose
Hyper-palatable triad: sugar + refined enriched flour + industrial fat (margarine)
Sugar outranks flour and cocoa on the list — it's a sugar mix with brownie aspirations
Margarine adds a second industrial fat on top of the hydrogenated toffee oil

Ingredients (7)

Sugar (moderate) — Added for sweetness, can contribute to calorie content.
Unbleached wheat flour (enriched) (moderate) — Refined flour with synthetic vitamins added back. Digests fast, little real fiber.
Cocoa (safe) — Provides the chocolate note; present as 'a hint,' well below sugar and oil.
Partially hydrogenated soybean oil (in English toffee) (harmful) — Artificial trans fat. Raises bad cholesterol, lowers good, directly linked to heart disease. No safe amount.
brown sugar (caution) — Second added sugar in the flavor base.
Glucose (caution) — Second added sugar, there to sharpen the hit.
Margarine (with whey, salt) (concerning) — Processed fat blend; the vehicle for the partially hydrogenated oil in the toffee.
